Co-head of Organization

We are looking for a visionary, highly organized and principled leader to serve as Co-head of Solidarity Rising. As our movement grows, we need another leader who can navigate the complexities of international human rights advocacy while providing the structure for a 100% volunteer-run organization.

You will be the bridge between our mission and the day-to-day reality of leading a growing team of more than 60 volunteers and 5 active campaigns and projects. These include organizing an international solidarity conference in the Saharawi refugee camps, building a resource database of books, documentaries and reports, coordinating university lectures around the world, and doing political advocacy work in several countries and languages.

Strategic leadership and capacity oversight

• Support campaign leads so projects, from international speaking tours to digital resource databases, stay on track and meet their advocacy goals.
• Make sure every team has the capacity it needs to reach its goal, in both campaign leads and volunteers.
• Make sure every volunteer and campaign lead gets continued support, training and capacity building so they grow as activists and changemakers.
• Support new initiatives and campaigns within the organization so they flourish.
• Lead and inspire a diverse global network of 60+ volunteers from all walks of life.
• Develop structures for recruitment, onboarding, capacity development and retention, so every volunteer feels valued, respected and effective.
• Foster a culture of solidarity, accountability and mutual respect.

Operations and the “engine room”

• Keep the organization running smoothly: digital infrastructure, internal communications and administrative workflows.
• Oversee transparency and reporting to our donors: the people.
• Streamline internal processes so it’s easy for activists to join and take action without bureaucracy.
• Strengthen alliances with other solidarity movements and international human rights bodies.

• A movement builder: you have experience leading grassroots or volunteer-driven organizations and know how to motivate people without corporate hierarchies.
• An expert multitasker: you can move from discussing international law in Western Sahara to fixing an administrative bottleneck or helping a volunteer with a technical issue.
• Principled and independent: you are deeply committed to the rights of occupied peoples and understand the nuances of working with several groups, each with its own history and sensitivities.
• An operational architect: you enjoy building systems and know how to use tools like Slack and Google Workspace to keep a decentralized team in sync.
• A communicator: excellent written and spoken English, ideally other languages too, especially Arabic, Spanish and French.
